Possibly: United States Ready for War With Iran



I'm not one to speculate on things of this nature, but the signs of an impending invasion are there.
The US naval command announced yesterday that a fleet of American warships, including the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, have been deployed to the Persian Gulf. Washington is making no secret of the fact that the amount of American military might that is being concentrated in the region is intended to bring pressure to bear on Iran, which the Bush administration blames for the failure of its mission in Iraq. The prevailing opinion in the region is that the United States is planning to strike Iran within the next few months.

The carrier, which is crewed by more than 3,000 sailors, will stop off at the naval base in San Diego to pick up an 80-plane air wing before charting a course for the Persian Gulf.
It doesn't seem to me that Iran is willing to back down, so the premise of a mere threat is unfounded. Will we see war in the coming months? How will it affect Armenia? All of this remains to be seen.
